      The old ones didn’t.

      I actually have one right here sitting in front of me which was used to develop iOS application (as Apple forces you contractually to use Apple machines for, at the very least do the final build of an iOS app to push to their store) and I actually bought a lower specced model and upgraded the memory myself as that was the cheaper option.

      However if I’m not mistaken the model generation after that (or maybe 2 generations) came with soldered memory.

      They sure do, and its a complete bastard. Soldered ram and disk.

      My latest laptop has 96GB RAM (I run a lot of VMs) and 4TB SSD. I think I should get the full 5 years out of it.
